Mary and Joseph

Wed 20: Met Fr Bill and had a good chat. It will be nice working with him. Phoned about teacher registration:it will be posted out tomorrow so I will have it in time (just) for next Wednesday. Good days work done. Email came about €7,500 of a grant from the Catholic Education Office (CEO) for an NAP-that’s me! After all my research for the dissertation last year, I finally get to be one. I now intend to write my Fellowship Paper on the Mentoring of NAPs in the Catholic schools here. Had planned to do a comparative study between the role of SNAs and Integration Aides but now that I am here the other makes more sense. I have been assigned a mentor and will also be attending the induction sessions.
ITF orientation tomorrow and Friday so had to go to Melbourne. I felt like Mary and Joseph (except that I am not pregnant) as there was not a bed to be got in the place, due to the Australian Open tennis. Dejavue Gerry? Saw a nice hotel, expensive enough, and arrived to find that it is quaint (i.e. dodgy) but I have no other option as there are no stables nearby! I will be sleeping with the laptop under the pillow though.
